Overview
Sweep's Slack integration works with public channels out of the box. To use a private channel as a recipient in automations or alerts, the Sweep app must be added to the channel first. This is required because Slack prevents apps from discovering or interacting with private channels they haven't been explicitly added to.
Step 1: Add Sweep to the Private Channel
Open the private channel in Slack and Click the channel name at the top
Go to → Integrations → Add an App
Search for Sweep and add it
4. Once added, the private channel will appear as an option in Sweep's channel dropdown when configuring automations and alerts.
Step 3: Verify in Sweep
Go to the relevant automation in Sweep. The private channel should now be selectable from the channel list. If it still doesn't appear, try refreshing the page — Sweep pulls the channel list dynamically.
